DOUBLE TROUBLE

Logophile interview meme

Logophile composed these questions especially for me so I now have the dubious honor of answering them and presumably trying to get 5 other fools to fall into the same trap.

1. For the year I lived in Greece, although I mostly loved it, I found some of the things there drove me NUTS! In some ways Greece is incredibly backwards, how do you handle that?

For the most part I make an effort to change the things that I can.

I erect an SEP* field around the things that I can’t do anything about,

but if nothing else works I drink.

*somebody else’s problem

2. How is your consumerism doing? Have you been involved in a treatment plan at all?

Strangely enough, ever since I started blogging I have no desire to leave the house to do any shopping.

3. You started blogging to remember you, find you, or reinvigorate you, is it working?

I have been making progress on several fronts where these goals are concerned.

In the short time that I have been blogging I have found friends who praise, guide, chide and generally offer all kinds of useful advice and support.

As well as boosting my self confidence this has had a knock on effect. So I am claiming back my right to be treated with respect and consideration by everyone who is close enough to get a poke in the eye. Anyone who doesn’t like it can whistle!

4. Since everyone else had a go, I want to know your take. Describe your blog.

For crying out loud girl!

If I’d known how to describe my blog I wouldn’t have asked you guys to help.

When I set it up it was just an experiment to see if I could do it.

It appears to have turned into a magical mirror of a myriad mental musings. Will that do?

5. Did your friend actually tell off her whiny/bossy boyfriend?

They split up and she blamed herself for not living up to his expectations. Hopefully she will look back at it from some point in the future and realize what a lucky escape she had.

Now, if you want me to ask you 5 interview questions make sure you mention that in the comment section and hurry. I will interview the first 5 who request it. You would then answer the questions I compose for you on YOUR blog and you can proceed to interview your commenters.

I have also been tagged by Queenie,

http://queenie-randomramblings.blogspot.com/

and my ego won’t let me ignore it because she said nice things about me. As a result I am about to inflict the same dilemma on a few of the people I visit. This is limited to 5 but anyone who wants to know which blogs I like just has to look at my sidebar; If I don’t like it I don’t link it. With one exception, anyone who visits me and is new to blogging will get linked on my site, just to give them a leg up as it were.

My Choices:

1. Dan's Blah Blah Blog, http://dabalogh.blogspot.com/ :

Not just a pretty face but a talented and entertaining raconteur.


2. Lime http://houseoflime.blogspot.com/ :

Another bit of everything blog where I feel right at home.

3. Malnurtured Snay, http://www.malnurturedsnay.net/ :

Sometimes side splittingly funny, sometimes serious, he helps to keep me young...

4.Groovy Lady http://groovyladyblog.blogspot.com/ :

A modern mum with a humorous view on the hazards of raising a family.

5. ,Spoon http://itsnopicknick.blogspot.com/ :

New to me I haven’t even linked her yet but I sense a kindred spirit.

I have included Queenie’s choices below, so that anyone who wants to see what else is appealing to somebody who likes my blog doesn’t have to go far to satisfy their curiosity.

Leelee-thoughts and meanderings.

A woman who seems to have a genuine compassion, and humour.

Libby-thoughts...usually with attitude.

Honesty and strength, again with humour.

Nea-southern view.

Her patience's and intelligence, show a grace of her own.

Gardener Greg- General stores.

A wise man with a lot to share.

Now I have to go and grovel to the poor souls who I've just done this to.
